AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: September 2, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Vicky Stever
SUBJECT: 2014-2015 State Aid to Libraries application
DEPARTMENT: Library Cooperative
BCC DISTRICT:
The Okaloosa County Public Library Cooperative (OCPLC) wishes to notify the Board that the
Cooperative intends to apply for a State Aid to Libraries grant in the Cooperative's name. The
application is due October 1, 2014. The goal of the State Aid to Libraries program is to assist
local governments in maintaining and developing library services. State Aid is a continuing state
grant authorized by Chapter 257, Florida Statute.
The requirement of the State Aid program is that library grants must only be applied for,
awarded to, and accepted by, a library entity. The grant application must be signed by the chair
of the Cooperative's governing board, currently Commissioner Boyles. The grant application has
been coordinated with the Contracts & Grants office and the OCPLC Governing Board does
comply with the standard operating procedures for grant applications as defined by the County,
except the application must be submitted electronically by the organization director.
